Restoring Tracks:

Restoring these tracks was quite a chore. The end of the mount block was melted off for some reason and the road wheels had broken mount pads and struts particularly on the idlers and drive sprockets plus the mount blocks were two different lengths. I restored the melted end with A-1 two part epoxy, cut,sanded and reglued the drive end of the block that was too long and pinned the broken idler strut with a piece of brass rod.

The results seen below is about as near perfect I can get considering the overall damage

The bottom of the tread run shows not much gap between the segments.................

and the longitudinal run is straight and true.

The front end which is the most visible seems about as good as you can get from a new kit. all the damage will be hidden from view by the track walls and covers.
